Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Mark lip balms can be the answer, I carry one 24/7. Personally I choose one with a sunscreen. There are many many types available with quite a variety of ingredients, vegan, beeswax, aloe etc. some mom and pop bulk stores in remote areas make their own salves and balms. Those are especially friendly. Do you have an aloe plant? You can also carry a severed leaf in a small baggie and apply as needed. One leaf can last for quite a few days if not a week. Are you drinking enough water in general? 2 quarts daily? Some of which can be coffee or tea, but if caffeinated, they cause diuresis which can dehydrate.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 It can also be a sign of Candida. Often when we are asleep and we dribble slightly, moisture sits in the corner of our mouths. If you have candida at all, this will irritate the skin where it joins. Diana Moore http://www.bowentherapy.homestead.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 My friend had that and she had temporary improvements with B vitamins and when she went gluten-free it totally went away. Perhaps the gluten sensitivity prevented vitamin B absorption due to excessive mucous in the bowels. Just a guess though! Usually any type of skin problem is due to a fungal/yeast imbalance or a liver imbalance.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sometimes that happens to me too and i use a lip balm with lycine in it which is reccomended for cold sores but I find it helps with this as well. , " laughingtoe13 " <laughingtoe13 wrote: > > Hi Mark > lip balms can be the answer, I carry one 24/7.
